Best Wine Bar List – Dear Sainte Éloise
“Dear Sainte Éloise, if you exist, please send me some money. I don’t ask for much — just enough to buy some bread and a bottle of wine” – George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London, 1933 We love this story. A young and desperate protagonist, destitute on the streets of Paris, praying to a photograph of a saint who is later revealed to be nothing more than a famous prostitute. It’s a funny scene with a great punchline and best of all: his wish comes true. He gets his wine and his bread, and he is restored. We too understand the happiness that simple pleasures can provide, when a solitary glass of wine can change your entire day. That’s why we built Dear Sainte Éloise – a place of simple pleasures and replenishment, and happiness, too. We like to think of this bar as a place where journeys are made and connections are forged. The pages of this wine list are filled with wines that have the ability to transport the drinker away from the everyday to fantastic faraway lands – from the beloved wine regions of Australia, to the incomparable sites of Europe, and beyond. This is a list that celebrates the great winemakers, who have defined what wine can and should be. But it’s a list that also gives a voice to the young, entrepreneurial and experimental winemakers of the present – those who will help define wine’s future. We believe that wine is an interconnected community full of sharing and learning, creating and drinking.

In Association With
In association with... Welcome to the 2019 Real Wine Fair! The Real Wine Fair is an independent festival of natural growers and winemakers, comprising those who work organically and/or biodynamically and with few or zero interventions in the winery. That said, real wine is relative rather than an absolute or precise term and embodies a certain spirit of endeavour in the vineyard and the winery. We understand that each grower has a highly specific approach; we should celebrate those differences. Real wines tend to be made in small quantities by artisan or independent producers who work without chemicals (which means no artificial fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides) in low yielding vineyards and then vinify without artificial yeasts or enzymes, or recourse to acidification or other adjustments. Many are made with only tiny amounts of added sulphur and some with none at all. ‘Nowt taken out and nowt put in’, as the saying goes. The motivation is to rediscover the true flavour of wine by capturing the sense of place (terroir) and the very nature of the vintage. These wines are individual, hand-crafted, thrilling and unpredictable. They remind us that wine can be a living thing rather than a denatured product and that less intervention means more real flavour. This booklet contains details of hundreds of wines from many countries around the world presented by growers and winemakers who have stories to tell. We hope you enjoy these wines as much as we do. And if you want to buy a bottle or several, or order something you have tasted at the fair there is a pop-up shop by the entrance of the main hall! And wine is only part of the Fair.

HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT NATURAL WINE? We Drink, Breathe, and Sleep Thinking About the History of the Humble Grape and Its Importance in the World
HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT NATURAL WINE? We drink, breathe, and sleep thinking about the history of the humble grape and its importance in the world. Kinda a lot of pressure for a fermented beverage, but we know Wine can handle it. We’ve gone all in on natural wine because we believe in celebrating farmers and other stewards of the land who work tirelessly to create biodiverse landscapes. Think of wine as a transmitter of a certain place and time in history: if made with nothing but grapes, a bottle has the ability to tell us what the soil in the vineyard is composed of, what the weather was like in a given vintage, and what the surrounding flora and fauna are doing. Cover it up with any number of 60-plus legal chemical additives, and what are you left with? Something engineered that no longer transmits its story. There is no official definition of what natural wine is. But we have our definition, and here’s our promise: every wine on this list is grown organically or biodynamically, free of any chemicals in the vineyard. Every wine on this list is made without any additives except sulfur, which is naturally occurring in grapes. Every wine on this list is fermented with its own living, wild yeast. And every wine on this list is made in small, or very small, amounts. It’s difficult to find fault with any of that. We love these wines and the people behind them, and we hope you do too. Corkage: $20 per 750ml not on our list, limit 2 bottles per party.

In cel- ebrating the dynamism of today’s modern winemaking landscape, we keep gender parity among our listings.

Great wine is a transmitter of a certain place and time in history: if made with nothing but grapes, a bottle has the ability to tell us what the soil in the vineyard is composed of, what the weather was like in a given vintage, and what the surrounding flora and fauna are doing. Cover it up with any number of 60-plus legal chemical additives, and what are you left with? Something engineered that no longer transmits its story. The winemakers represented on these pages make wine from their core; with dedication, integrity, and great care for the land they farm. We are delighted to share the wines and the stories of folks whose hearts lay in the same vein as our own. These producers represent some of the world’s most unique vineyards and rare heritage grape varietals. We believe sharing these special wines with you is an honest extension of our desire to provide thoughtful hospitality. Your evening is in our hands for a few hours and it’s with great pleasure we get to open bottles for you that represent our ethos, the deep culture of the winemakers, and the diverse areas they farm.
